As it was very simple to reverse-engineer, these researchers could reverse-engineer the Apothecary Restoration Pill within the shortest possible time.At this time, Smith rubbed his chin and spoke up, “I have also been dealing with drugs for most of my life at the FDA, and I really cannot understand this. How can this drug have such good effects if it’s all just plant ingredients?”Roger shrugged, spread out his hands, and said, “Only God knows, then. For us, we only need to know its production process as well as the actual effect. We do not need to know of its actual principle. We will not be able to understand the principle of many things in this world, just like how you simply will not be able to understand the metaphysics that the Orientals often speak of.”At this time, two minutes had already passed since the five patients had taken the medication.A lot of doctors surrounded them, and they were constantly monitoring their various physical indicators. At the same time, they k
The entire laboratory was in a state of despair because of the failure of the test.The reason for their despair was not because they could not imitate the Apothecary Restoration Pill, but it was because they had already imitated it exactly, yet the result was very different. Everyone was suddenly placed in a dead-end. If it was useless to imitate it to the point where it was exactly the same, what should be done to make it useful, then?!Roger was also completely stunned. He paced back and forth with the imitation pill as he muttered, “What should we do next...? What can we do next? Since it’s insufficient for us to come up with the exact same pill, should the next step be to try a different direction, then?”Several pharmaceutical experts were also extremely frustrated.They had never encountered such an unbelievable situation in all of their many years of practice. Smith pondered for a moment, and he suddenly remembered something. He asked Roger, “Could it be that there is
Smith said awkwardly, “I know that it sounds like a strange thing, but I really think that there’s nothing better for us to do now. The White House has already given us such a big battle, so we cannot declare failure in less than a day, right? If we did, in the eyes of the White House, how different would we be compared to a bunch of useless people, then?” Roger wanted to cry, but he had no tears, and he said, “Smith... we are all scientists, and asking scientists to do such metaphysical things is not professional at all...”Smith said, “There’s no other way. We just have to bite the bullet and do it. Otherwise, what else should we do?” At this time, a researcher with Oriental features mustered the courage to speak up, “Mr. Rogers, I suggest that it would be best for us to go to Aurous Hill for a field trip and an on-the-spot investigation. We can then bring back several environmental samples to be studied such as the air, groundwater, surface water, the rainfall there, and so on.
When Shunpei heard that Roger was asking him to lead a team to conduct research and investigation in Oskia, he was overjoyed. He basically agreed without hesitation, and he stood up straight like a soldier as he bowed and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Roger. I will do my best to complete the mission!”Roger was very satisfied with Shunpei’s attitude, and he said, “You have to make sure to give me all of the details without letting go of any clues when you arrive in Oskia!”Shunpei nodded repeatedly and said without hesitation, “I will do my best!”Although Shunpei had already been working hard in the United States for many years, he had never been given much attention in the European and American-dominated teams because he was of Asian descent. So, he had never been given any good opportunities for promotions either. As he grew older, Shunpei had begun to worry about his future ever since the past two years. His current income in the United States was not much, but it would not be r
When the outside world learned that The Apothecary Pharmaceutical had a new drug and a new health product that was about to be launched into the market, almost everyone awaited the official release of these two products eagerly. This was because in their opinion, if The Apothecary Pharmaceutical could develop a special drug for cancer and the Apothecary Stomach Pill was also extremely good on its own, the level of the other products that it released naturally would not be too bad either and might even be amongst the best.The Apothecary Pharmaceutical’s several factories in Oskia and Japan were all soon producing at full capacity. According to Liam’s plan, the Apothecary Liver Protection Pill and the Apothecary Gold-Life Renewal Pill would officially be launched worldwide in a month. The Apothecary Pharmaceutical was working in full swing in no time, and Liam felt a hint of discomfort.Ever since the news of the Apothecary Restoration Pill had come out, he realized that there wer
When Porter heard Charlie’s question, he explained, “Ten Thousand Armies used to be in the mercenary field, and our biggest competitors were all in the United States. So, we set up an anonymous intelligence trading network in the United States, and theoretically, anyone who feels that they have some kind of valuable information can then submit an application to sell clues and information in this intelligence network of ours.”Charlie asked curiously, “I want to know how exactly this trading network of yours operates?”Porter continued speaking, “Firstly, we searched for more suitable breakthrough subjects amongst the more elite group in all walks of life in the United States. Such subjects are generally the kind of people who have a greater desire for money or are facing a major problem with their financial situation. They would be bent on making money, and as long as the opportunity presents itself, they would never let it go.”“After finding such a person, we would then contact th
With that being said, Porter then added, “By the way, Mr. Wade, in addition to them taking the initiative to sell the intelligence to us, we will also take the initiative to occasionally acquire the information. For instance, we will push some keywords to them such as the Apothecary Restoration Pill. If we are very concerned about it, we will send the information out to our informants directly, telling them that we are currently seeking information related to the Apothecary Restoration Pill. This way, the probability of us collecting the intelligence would be higher. So, if you need to pay any attention to any aspects of intelligence in the future, you can just tell me the keywords, and I will have the person-in-charge secretly follow up on this matter and get him to release information soliciting for leads directly, then.”Charlie was grateful, and he said “Okay! This intelligence network has really exceeded my expectations! It’s excellent! Perhaps it might really be of great use in
Porter’s intelligence network quickly impressed Charlie again soon.As Porter searched for news of the Rejuvenating Pill within the intelligence network, he immediately found several pieces of intelligence information that were being sold anonymously. Porter bought all of this information and forwarded it to Charlie. Charlie then carefully sorted through this batch of intelligence information that was related to the Rejuvenating Pill, and he realized that not all of this intelligence information contained good content.There were only three relatively reliable ones. The first one was: “It’s now known that there is a divine medicine that can bring the dead back to life and rejuvenate the old. It is called the Rejuvenating Pill, and the reason why the last Queen of Northern Europe could recover from her illness was because of this medicine. This medicine comes from Oskia, and it is extremely mysterious!”The second was: “The famous Oskian-American Fengshui master, Chandler Lenna
Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e
"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega
In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade
Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd
Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should
Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e
Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,
